101. Big numbers don’t mean anything.
How much you impact each person matters more.

In the early days, I used to check my Medium stats religiously. Then as I continued writing everyday, I fell out of the habit. I let it fall by the wayside because I felt tired of the emotional rollercoaster of seeing some days with spikes and feeling invincible and other days where I was invisible.
I’ve since realized that numbers don’t matter that much. Big-name bloggers write about going viral and how ephemeral it really is. Someone finds your article, shares it like crazy, then it drops back down into oblivion again. It’s a similar phenomenon for book writing.
It’s simple to chase numbers. It’s far harder to find that one person who has been looking for what you’ve been writing for the longest time and to write for them. The thing is if you find them and really solve their problem, they’ll tell their buddies who are struggling with the same problem and before you know it, you’ll have a captive audience.
It won’t be in the millions, but they’ll be yours for life… if you continue to write in your own way.
